yeh the gaz is better than the spax kit in my opinion, also been coilovers as well. mine was a 40mm drop with the bilsteins and 230lbs springs, handels realy well. | |

yeh pherhaps bouncy is the wrong word, i mean it wont take the bumps in the round as well, may feel like it could easily "bounce" to one side if that makes sence. having it a tad higher will allow the damper to work better. not much of a problem on tidy roads but where i live, in the dam hills it causes problems. lol | |

even if it is a corsa c 1.3CDTI it shouldnt need 300 pound springs for road use, also if you have it low its going to just feel bouncy due to not using all the travel of the damper. i would adjust the settings on the coliovers and see if that helps. | |

Putting higher poundage springs on the front is going to make it understeer more. | |

must depend on the damper then, as im running 200lb spax springs on my spax coilovers and they are pretty stiff tbh... | |

i have 285lb front on my gaz coilovers and there plenty stiff enough for road use... | |

i would have thought 300lbs is plenty hard enough, i have bilstein b12 shocks with 230lbs springs and its solid, the inserts in the gaz arent anything special either. | |
